Conscious sedation has become an integral part of the undergraduate dental curriculum. The attributes of the competent graduate in sedation are defined and all providers of sedation education should be aiming towards this standard. It is important that students receive appropriate theoretical and practical training which must include hands-on clinical experience in sedation techniques.
Dental rehabilitation is a common outpatient pediatric surgical procedure. It requires the dentist to restore or extract the teeth of children with severe tooth decay or poor dental hygiene. Medical, physical, or emotional problems can make safe treatment in an outpatient setting impossible. These children require sedation or anesthesia for the dentist to gain access to their oral cavities. This article discusses caring for pediatric patients with spina bifida and latex allergy undergoing dental rehabilitation. Perioperative nurses must act as patient advocates in providing a latex-safe environment and also ensure quality care.
The aim of this study was firstly to determine and compare the ability of inexperienced junior dental students (Fourth-year) and senior students (Fifth-year) versus a dental school instructor to identify demineralized dentine with the aid of a caries-disclosing solution and secondly to evaluate an eventual improvement of the caries diagnosis accuracy of junior (Fourth-year) and senior (Fifth-year) dental students. Three successive stages were used to check the ability of the dental students to diagnose and excavate the de-mineralized dentine. This study pointed out that 96% of junior dental students versus a teacher failed to remove all of the demineralized dentine without the use of a caries detector at the first stage and 79% at the second stage in the same condition. 100% of senior students versus a teacher, also failed to diagnose dental caries without a caries detector, but only at the first stage. However, at the second stage, unlike the junior students, all of the senior students were able to remove all of the demineralized dentine. Without the use of a caries detector dye, the risks of the dental students leaving demineralized dentine are high. This technique may be particularly helpful for the fourth-year students who are performing their first restorative treatment.
